Application filed November To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY SGHALLMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gloves and Mittens, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gloves, mittens, and like hand coverings used as articles of wearing apparel.

The main object of my invention is to providea glove or mitten with one or more removable linings of various materials affording different degrees of warmth, so that by interchanging the linings one glove may be suitable for any kind of weather.

Another object of my invention is to arrange the detachable connections between the glove or mitten body and the lining so that such connections are readily accessible from the outside of the glove or the mitten,-

as the case may be.

A further object of my invention is to apply the detachable linings to gloves and mittens of the gauntlet type and to have each lining provided with a gauntlet cuff fitting the cuff of the glove or mitten body, so that the lining may be readily inserted into and removed from the glove or mitten body.

The invention consists further in the mat-- ters hereinafter described and more particularly' set forth in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings- Fig. 1 shows a glove provided with are movable lining in accordance with my invention; v

Fig. 2 shows one of the linings;

Fig. 8 shows another of the linings but made of material different from that shown in Fig. 2 so as to afford a degree of warmth greater than afiorded by the lining of Fig. 2;

Fig. t'shows oneof the linings partly withdrawn from the glove body;

Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional views taken on lines 5-5 and 6-6, respectively, of Figs. 3 and' l; and

' Figs. 7 and 8 show mittens embodying my invention; in Fig. 7 the mitten is of the onefinger type, while in Fig. 8 the mitten is of the usual type. 1 r

In Fig. 1, '1-'ndicates the. outside glove; This, as shown, is in gauntlet form and has a relatively stifi cuff 2 and a hand portion 3 having the usual finger and thumb portions as customary in glove design. The outside 30, 1921. Serial No. 518,774.

glove 1 may be made of leather or other suitable material.

In Fig. 2, at indicates one of the removable linings. This has a cufi' portion 5 of relatively stiff material and a hand portion 6 having the finger and thumb portions all of which are made of a knitted fabric, such as jersey wool.

In F 3, 7 indicates another of the removable linings. This has a cufi' portion 8, also of relatively stiff material, and a hand portion 9 having the usual finger and thumb portions, all made of lambs skin with the wool facing inside.

The linings t and 7 are interchangeable with the outside glove portion 1, that is, the

outside glove .1 is made initially large enough not only to fit the hand for which it is made, but also to allow either one of the linings a or 7 to be inserted into the same. VJ hen one of these linings is inserted into the outside glove 1, the finger and thumb portions of the lining completely fill the corresponding parts of the outside glove and the cuff of the lining fits within the cuff 2 of the outside glove 1 so that the glove with its lining appears as one glove with no portions of the lining projecting beyond the outside glove.

' Tohold the linings in place when in the outside glove, I provide the parts with detachable fastenings which, as shown in the drawings, are in the form of snap fasteners.

' Qne set of these fasteners 10 are carried by the cuff portion 2 of the outside glove 1 and the cuff portions 5 and 8 of the linings 4t and 7 are provided with a. co-operating set of fasteners 11 and 12, respectively. The fastening members 10 on the outside glove 1 are inside of its cuff portion 2, while the fasteners on the end portions of the linings are onthe outside thereof, so that the cuff portions may be readily attached by forcing the fasteners together, and detached by pulling the outer edges of the cuff portions apart. These fastening members are all located adjacent the outer edges of the cuff portions so as to be readily. accessible from the outside of the glove and thus permit attaching and detaching the linings without reaching into the glove for that purpose. The fastening members 10,11, and 12 are secured to the reinforcing strips 13,14, and

15 on the'respective members of the glove sothat they will not pullout. p *In' Fig. 4:, l: have shown one of the rethe same manner as a' glove. Then the hand of the wearer while in the lining is inserted into the outside glove 1 until the lining is completely in the outside glove. This will bring the cuff portions of the outside glove and lining one within the other with their outer edges together, whereupon the lining may be attached to the outside glove by snapping the fasteners of the two together.

To remove a lining from the outside glove 1, the glove is drawn onto the hand of the wearer, ifnot already there, and then the snap fasteners of the lining and outside glove are disconnected, whereupon by grasping the finger portions of the outside glove 1 adjacent their tips, the outside glove 1 may be pulled off of the lining, the latter still remaining on the hand ofthe wearer. This removes the lining from the outside glove 1 andanother lining may then be insorted into the outside glove in the manner described.

By providing an outside glove 1 with one I or more removable linings, "as disclosed, the

glove is rendered suitable for any kind of weather by merely using the particular lining required. In mild weather, the outside glove may be used without the linings. For colder weather when greater warmth is required than is made possible by the outside glove 1' alone, the lining 1 may be used. This lining is made of knitted fabric, as wool, and this will afford sufficient warmth for moderate weather. For extremely cold weather the lambs skin lining 7 may be employed, and having the wool facing inside of the lining affords the degree of warmth required for extremely cold weather.

The advantage of having a glove with removable linings as described resides not only in being able to have one glove suitable for any kind of weather, but also permits the linings being dried when removed from the outside glove and thus avoids injuring the outside glove by subjecting it to excessive heat to reach the lining as in gloves wherein the lining is permanently fixed in. the outside glove as heretofore. Lambs skin gloves in particular are susceptible to cracking when subjectedto excessive heat. These gloves become. readily moist and damp while in use and, if an attempt is made to dry them out without taking the lining out of the outsideglove, which could not be done as heretofore made, such an excessive heat must be applied to the outside glove to reach" the lining that the outside glove, which is usually of leather, is burned and the inside lambs skin lining cracked as a result, thus rendering the glove faulty in that the cracked lining curls up and makes wearing As shown in Fig. 5, the cuff 2 of the outside glove 1 is provided along one side with a gusset 16 to permit sufiicient distending of the cuff to receive a coat sleeve when inserted into the same. The cuff portions 5 and 8 of each lining are also provided with gussets 17 to permit a like distention of such cuff portions. The gusset 17 when distended fits into the gusset 16.

In Fig. 6, I have shown a section through one of the finger portions of the lambs skin lining 7. This ismade to provide lambs,

skin sections 18 and 19 along the top and bottom of the finger, While the side sections 20, 20 are made of suitable fabric stitched along its edges to the top and bottom sections 18 and 19, as shown.

In Fig. 7, I have shown my'invention embodied in a mit 21 of the one-finger type;

and in Fig. 8, I have shown my invention embodied in the ordinary form of mit 22 wherein all the four fingers of the hand are withinthe body portion of the mitten.

In connection with the outside glo-vel, I provide a wrist strap 23. -Thisextends about the wrist of the glove on the outside and has its free end inserted through a guide loop 24L on the glove body. The free end of the strap has one member 25 of a snap fastener to engage either of the other members 26, 26 of such fasteners on the portion of the strap affixed to the opposite side of the glove and thus permits properly tightening the wrist portion of the glove about the Wrist of the wearer.

Similar straps 27 and 28 are provided on the mits shown in Figs. 7 and8.

By my invention,- I provide a plurality of pairs of gloves in one and, while I have shown my invention applied to gloves of the gauntlet type, it is tobe understood that my invention may be adapted to gloves of the so-called short or walking type, and Ido.

not wish toxbe limited to the details of construction as shown in the drawings, as such details may be variously changed and modified without departing from the scope of my invention.

.I claim as my invention:

1. A hand covering, comprising an outside portion made of wear resisting material, and a removable lining therefor made of cold resisting material, both outside portion and lining being made of a shape and size to completely cover the hand of the wearer andfit spirit and v one within the other when the two are worn together, and co-operating fastening means carried by the outside portion and lining, respectively, along the outer edges thereof for detachably connecting the two together when one is within the other.
